Concept & logo
The logo consists of 2 parts, the element of the jumping bar and the typographical element of the name. In the jumping bar a stage is incorporated as a sign of victory and prestige.
This reflects the values of the company. The name Cloots has also been added to the logo to strengthen the image and recognizability.
